This course is designed to introduce students to the foundational principles necessary for success in calculus courses, as well as to foster math inquiry and problem-solving skills. It is a study of linear equations, systems of linear equations, absolute value equations, polynomials and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, and trigonometric functions and inverse trig functions. This is the first course in a two-part Precalculus series.
This course uses Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes (KSA) model to give students the opportunity to develop both real-world 21st Century Skills and Social and Emotional Learning Soft Skills to develop college and career readiness.
- Knowledge: Precalculus, Part 1
- Skill: Critical Thinking—Constructing Arguments
